race car drivers
What F1 drivers experience during every race for up to 2 hours.
2G under acceleration.
4G under braking.
Up to 3G in high-speed corners.
The mental stamina to drive on the absolute knife-edge limit, all the time, for 2 hours.
Not to mention untold hours of non-race-weekend practice/tuning/setup on track in the car and practice sessions and qualifying during race weekend. They spend 25-30 hours a week in the car and many more in simulators or at the gym.
These guys might have the strongest necks in the universe.
Sebastian Vettel pole lap at the 2012 USGP
Doing over 200 kmh (120 mph) in the majority of the corners.
